j i inventionrelates anrelectrical devvice intended as a `massage implement, and

'as' a cauterizer and heat applicatortofapply heat at anydesired local part ofthebody.

5, The objects of the invention are, to provide means for applying heat to any part of the bodyy for `producing therapeutic effect, and

j M vto provide a curative and healing means for yall ailments which arealleviated byapplica- `tion .of.heat, counterirritant, or cautery., Theobject ofthev invention is to` provide a i i vdevice of this character whereby the applica# tion ofthe heatmaybe made on limited ysurfaces andpointsfaswill be hereinafter set f TheV drawing, exhibits "ai, embodiment `if j therinvention which I` have so farfoundto be themost practicaly in -useyand whereinan` f i vkelectric heating grid is enclosed ina casing, and the casing covered with heat `insulating Y materials, except for the small exposed partl f lof the casing serving as theheat applicator.' j Various modifications maybemade with-` out departinglfrom the spirit and `nature-of g5 the invention, which consists in enclosing an electric heating grid of suitable proportions in aheat insulating .j acketfwithfalimited ex-y posure ofthe heat applicator.

4 The device'isparticulV rlyadapted for vtreatment` of pus ,formations around the j 'i teeth, and similar ailments@V -'I'n the drawing, Figure 1 is `afside eleval, tionk of the cauterizing device. Fig. '2 isa sectional elevation ,of thesame. Fig. 3 is a i detail view of theheating gridn Fig. l is a detail view oftheheating gridturned 45. Fig. 5 is a front `elevation lof the device with handle removed.

. Referring to the"drawngindaau,easing t 40 11 `is,providedwith `handle 12, secured by screwsl. `Casing 11 has an applicator projection y.14, whereby heat "mayybe applied.

The casing ,hassan inner cover 15, made preferably of asbestosformineral `woohcfnonabsorbingmaterial that prevents `radiation of heat, or similar material. Onv the outer..`

surface, Ifprovide a 'jacket.16, of soft rub-` jber, or'similar suitable material.` Withiny casing 11, I provide mica forms 17 ,18, 19 and "50 20, Vsawing to` Suppoftafwef filament 21 signature.

:with an electric current, thereby energizing the heating grid, which heats the applicator 14. yThe device is then applied to the part of the body to be treated, thereby applying heat, and producing therapeutic effects through the application of said heat and through application of massage on moving the applicator. s

From the foregoing description and drawing, it may be seen that I have provided simple and efficient elements for application of heatto the human body in the treatment of disease or relief of various ailments, and whereby such application may be made at particular points and to limited areas of the body.

It may be noted` that all external surfaces of the applicator likely to come in contact with the body, are Well rounded.

I claim:

1. In an electric cauterizer, a casing including an applicator forming the upper extremity thereof, an electric grid within the casing arranged for heating the active surface'of the applicator, a handle for the casing, and heat-insulating jackets enclosing the ycasing ywith the applicator projecting therefrom.

` 2. In an electricI cauterizer, a casing including an applicator projecting angularly from the upper end thereof, an electric grid withinv the casing, a handle for the casing,

,and-heat-insulating jackets enclosing the casing with the applicator projecting therefrom. 3. In an electric cauterizer, the combina.- tlon with a casing, an applicator extremity integral therewith, heat-insulating jackets covering the non-active surface of the casing, 'an electric heating grid within the casing and in operative relation to the active surface of the applicator.

In testimony whereof, Il hereunto aiiix my sHoTARoTAKAoK/i;
